Mike was a cop for almost 12 years, but for the last 14 years, he's been teaching Military, Law Enforcement, and Bodyguards high speed, tactical, and off-road driving as well as hand-to-hand Combatives and Blade tactics. He enjoys martial arts and has been a practitioner since 1989 of various styles. Filipino blade arts are his favorite. Since he was a teenager, he's loved reading, writing, and watching movies, particularly in the horror and sci-fi genre. He's also been a prolific reader of theology and has dabbled in philosophy as well. He has a beautiful, smart wife who is amazingly supportive and a son and daughter who are both graduated. His babies now are a German Shepherd named Ziva, a Daddy's girl who loves to play... even when he's writing, and a Border Collie mix named Joey "The Bandit" who will steal anything and everything he can, even the toys right out of Ziva's mouth. Mike is a lover of music, as well, and it is an integral part of his writing ritual.
